Offering one of Gibson's best combinations of features and value, the ES-175 has been popular since its launch in 1949 and is still considered one of the classic electrics of all time. This dark sunburst beauty is from the 1965-69 period when Gibson narrowed the necks on these instruments to 1 5\/8\" nut width instead of the traditional 1 11\/16\", but otherwise is little changed from the late 1950s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a single Patent-number humbucking pickup, adjustable rosewood bridge, early '60s-style metal-capped knobs, and \"wavy\" tailpiece, this 175 has all the classic elements. While to many players it instantly murmurs \"jazz\" when plugged in, it is actually a fairly versatile guitar suitable for a wide range of styles. Still, this model is mostly associated with many jazz greats including Herb Ellis, Jim Hall, Kenney Burrell, and many more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 40 7\/8 in. (103.8 cm.), 16 1\/16 in. (40.8 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 3 3\/8 in. (8.6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 3\/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5\/8 in. (41 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guitar is very clean overall; the only notable repair is a patched strap button hole high on the heel. Other than that, it shows only very light play wear and handling marks, with some light checking and very little fade. A great example of a period 175, still one of the best straight-ahead hollow-body electrics ever made. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853313036428,"sku":"7835","price":4250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_55f83958-4abe-435e-8162-d11200ca2fe4.jpg?v=1774334219","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-es-175-arch-top-hollow-body-electric-guitar-1966-7835","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
